Siemens Healthineers works with other affiliated companies and external services providers and may therefore transfer your personal information for the purposes described above to:

• other Siemens Healthineers and Siemens Group companies
• service providers who process data as part of their service provision for Siemens Healthineers (e.g. service providers for IT maintenance activities, processing enquiries, administration of user identities)
• courts, arbitration tribunals, authorities or legal advisors, if this is necessary to comply with applicable law or to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims

As a global company, Siemens Healthineers also has affiliates in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) ('third countries') and cooperates with external service providers who may also be located in third countries. Third countries are countries where the applicable law does not guarantee the same level of data protection as within the EEA.

In the event that the recipients of your personal data are located in third countries for which the EU Commission has not made an adequacy decision to the effect that an adequate level of data protection exists in these third countries, Siemens Healthineers will take other measures to implement appropriate guarantees for the protection of your personal data in accordance with the GDPR.

We therefore only pass on your personal data to Siemens Healthineers and Siemens companies in third countries if they have implemented the binding corporate rules of Siemens for the protection of personal data (Binding Corporate Rules, "BCR") approved by the data protection supervisory authority. You can find further information about the Siemens BCR under "Downloads" at the bottom of this page.

Personal data is only transferred to external recipients in third countries if, for example, they have concluded (i) EU standard data protection clauses with Siemens Healthineers or introduced (ii) Binding Corporate Rules 

For further information on the respective guarantees, please refer to the following links:

• EU Standard Data Protection Clauses
• Binding Corporate Rules

Further information and a copy of the implemented measures can be obtained upon request from the Siemens Healthineers Data Privacy Organization (see contact information under "Contact").

As far as not explicitly stated otherwise in this policy regarding the duration of the storage of personal data the following shall apply:

Siemens Healthineers will only process your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose of the processing (e.g. until the matter you have contacted us with is completely clarified) or until you withdraw your consent or object to the processing and there is no other legal basis or overriding legitimate reasons for the processing.

To the extent that Siemens Healthineers needs to process your personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, Siemens Healthineers stores your personal data until the legal obligation is fulfilled or the legal claims have been asserted.

According to the data privacy law applicable in the EU/EEA, you have the right – provided that the respective legal requirements are fulfilled – to:

• obtain confirmation as to whether Siemens Healthineers processes personal data about you and, where that is the case, obtain access to your personal data processed by Siemens Healthineers as well as other information

• obtain from Siemens Healthineers the erasure of your personal data processed by Siemens Healthineers
• obtain from Siemens Healthineers restriction of processing of your personal data
• obtain your personal information that you have provided to Siemens Healthineers in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or request that your personal information be transmitted to another recipient
• object to the processing of your personal data by Siemens Healthineers and, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data insofar as the processing of your personal data is based on legitimate interests

If you have given Siemens Healthineers your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, i.e. your withdrawal does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent prior to the withdrawal. After withdrawal, Siemens Healthineers may only process your personal data to the extent that Siemens Healthineers can base the processing on another legal basis.

If you wish to exercise any of your rights, please contact the Siemens Healthineers Data Privacy Organization (see contact information under "Contact").
